”The more the trees struggled with pine twisting rust, the more Diplodia we found in the shoots over the summer”, says Matilda Stein Åslund. There is likely a genetic component to this that can be used in pine breeding. slu.se/en/ew-news/202…

An open lab manager position at @uhmanoa with @fungaloha and hynsonlab.com.  Knowledge of fungi, microbiology, molecular methods and sterile technique would serve this individual well. Nov. 4th app deadline: schooljobs.com/careers/hawaii… Start date negotiable PLS RT!

Do plant-soil feedbacks occur *within* species in tropical forests? Our field experiment in Panama shows that whether a seedling grows near its maternal tree or another conspecific tree isn't the deciding factor for its survival. #AJB 1/6 doi.org/10.1002/ajb2.1…

I could not recommend this job more. Autonomy, networking, the possibility to travel around the tropics, and most importantly, a great collaborative and supportive team! #tropical #treemortality Apply by March 15!

So many great fungal finds in the cloud forests of Machu Picchu ✨

Internship Alert 🚨 @stri_panama We are seeking 3 or more interns to research tropical species ID and tropical tree woody growth in Panama 📷Get full position descriptions and see how to apply here: rb.gy/2psdy0

We are recruiting an intern ($1,250 monthly plus travel) to work in Panamanian forests with an exciting team of ecologists and biogeochemists studying how different agents of disturbance (⚡️💨) influence forest recovery and nutrient cycling. Review of applications begins Feb. 1

@CharlesMelnyk @NaturePlants @MingFen30366917 Very cool Charles! Congrats to all coauthors 👏🏽. Looking forward to see how these interspecies grafts grow in the long term

Our paper “A conserved graft formation process in Norway spruce and Arabidopsis identifies the PAT gene family as central regulators of wound healing” is now out in @NaturePlants, led by @MingFen30366917 and Ai Zhang. A short thread! #plantgrafting nature.com/articles/s4147…

@harangu Estará en Youtube!

@capadorr Saludos cordiales desde Venezuela. Interesantísimo su trabajo de investigación postdoctoral. Lamentablemente mi conexión a intenet hoy estuvo peor que nunca y no pude verla fluidamente. Sera alojada en alguna plataforma para verla nuevamente?

No se pierdan este miércoles un seminario en español sobre nuestro trabajo en Panamá!

Firstly, just wanna thank the committee of @southmycorrhiza for organising this great event. I have learnt a lot from mycorrhiza and plant sex @capadorr to restoration @chavarroluisaf. The presentations were diverse and informative.

New results (and hypotheses) on tropical tree seedling responses to soil-profile warming: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bt… @Biotropica @stri_panama Warming decreased above-ground growth & photosynthesis especially in N-fixing tropical tree species.

Yet another example of devastating plant pathogens: in the 1800s a disease wiped out Nutmeg plantations im Singapore. Apparently no one is quite sure what the causal agent was: #9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">eresources.nlb.gov.sg/history/events…

Thanks @NewPhyt & @NUSingapore for such a good meeting! Exciting program, all plants, from molecules to ecosystems! I’m grateful for the opportunity to attend and excited to meet so many early career researchers. The future of plant science is bright! #npnextgen

Super interesting preview of @capadorr ‘s work on looking at the contribution of fungal pathogens in explaining conspecific negative density dependence in BCI #NPnextgen

@JSperschneider Thanks for the shot, Jana!

Great talk by @capadorr on how a community of fungal pathogens affect seedling survival in tropical trees. Plus some beautiful pictures of Panama! #npnextgen

Interesting talk by Hernán @capadorr on how microorganisms are affecting the germination of seeds of V. nobilis and consequently their distribution

⚡⚡Lianas amplify the severity of lightning strikes⚡⚡Just out in @NewPhyt - we show that lianas (woody vines) act like live wires - they electrically connect trees and cause lightning strikes damage and kill more trees in forest patches with more lianas tinyurl.com/5atsw7vy

We are project #4! Join my research lab at @stri_panama and a fantastic team of collaborators including @capadorr @GoraEvan @Jane_M_Lucas Learn more about the research here sites.google.com/site/erinrspea… And apply here by April 2, 2023 gsscholar.org/rampup-fellows…
